“1092. Sounds of Ocean” Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This painting location is at the north of MacKerricher State Park in CA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very close to the town of Fort Bragg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I stand on a beach facing ocean, I feel so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on listening to sound of ocean as deep breathing, It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mindfulness, isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is a quality that every human being already possesses, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not something we have to conjure up, we just have to learn how to access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if we are barefoot on sand, then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Earthing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earthing (also known as grounding) refers to contact with the Earth’s surface electrons by walking barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive systems, some of them patented, that transfer the energy from the ground into the body. Emerging scientific research supports the concept that the Earth’s electrons induce multiple physiological changes of clinical significance, including reduced pain, better sleep, a shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic tone in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and a blood-thinning effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
